When I got my tiel Willow, I thought he was a girl. He was really quiet for the week 2-3 weeks, then he began to find his voice. It was when he started trying to whistle Jingle Bells that I thought about him being male. And me being impatient sent off some feathers to be DNA'd.
It came back male. If you've only had yours a week, he probably hasn't found all of his voice yet. If he does get more vocal, he'll be most likely to be male.
I've heard about telling the gender of tiels through the pelvic bone test, but I'm not convinced by it. Bird's are different builds to eachothers, so it's not always accurate.
I would recommend a DNA test too, it's the only real way of finding out the sex.
